MY APPROACH

My approach is person-centred which essentially means I aim to provide a welcoming environment where you are respected and cared for as we explore your world.  I like to work as authentically as I can in our sessions, focusing on being 'real' and transparent, and working with you individually.  This type of supported exploration, with someone uninvolved in your life, can be relieving and grounding.​

​​

I'll work with you using gentle, sensitive questions and a desire to understand the challenges or blocks in your life and what brought you to therapy (this isn't always obvious).  I am receptive to seeing people beyond how they outwardly may appear - and aware that they may be suffering in ways which aren't evident at all.  You may appear to be coping for example, but on the inside really struggling.​  I am here to help.

 

It is hard to know at the beginning how long therapy will take.  You may need just a handful of sessions to work through a particular issue; or you may need longer and find that returning each week becomes an anchor for  you.  I will work flexibly to accommodate your needs, whether that's a regular session or a check-in now and again.
